1. Affiliate Marketer

This is a very popular and potentially rewarding career. A merchant with a product(s) for sale will pay a commission to marketers for referring potential customers to their websites, and/or for selling their products. These are called “affiliate marketers” who only get paid after their promotional efforts results are in.

Affiliate marketing is performance based and there are various campaign methods used by affiliates including Pay-per-click, pay-per-lead, call-to-action, or pay for each conversion. The more viewers that you can attract to yours, or the merchant’s website, the more transactions will potentially occur and the more money can be earned.

2. Amazon Associates

This was one of the first affiliate marketing programs online that started in 1996 and is very popular, one reason being the marketer will get a commission on anything that their viewer purchases on Amazon within 24 hours of their visit.

When an associate, or marketer, creates links from their own websites to the Amazon site and their viewers click through and make purchases, they earn referral commissions. It’s free to join and with over a million products available to promote it’s also very easy to use. They have easy to use linking tools to help with your advertising efforts as you monetize your website. Amazon associates can earn up to 10% in advertising fees depending on what was purchased and, to mention again, you earn a commission on anything that is purchased at the Amazon site, not just the products that you advertise.

But Wait

Before joining Amazon Associates make sure that your website has some traffic flow. If your efforts don’t make any sales within a year of your start date, your account will be canceled. You can still open a new one in the future but avoid getting canceled, if possible. So the best advice is to build up your website with lots of nice content and start generating traffic to the site before joining the associate program.

3. Writer

A writer can produce any number of publications to reach people of any group or niche. Their texts are published in all areas of the media, and writers who are able to skillfully use language that expresses their ideas often positively, or negatively, add to the cultural content of the viewing public. There are a variety of types of writing and writers, some of which are:

Novelists, poet, satirist, short story writer, playwright, screenwriter, speechwriter, biographer, critic, and a few more types, no doubt.

The term writer is often used in reference to an author even though an author has a wider meaning and is used to carry a legal responsibility for some things that they write.
